YWCA stepped forward in 1940s to start service in Sham Shui Po. To celebrate the centenary of the Association, our service units in Sham Shui Po organised a community partnership ceremony to share the development of our services in the area.

AXA Hong Kong ("AXA") collaborated with YWCA in the remote volunteering activities for its annual "AXA Corporate Responsibility Week 2020" ("AXA CR Week"). AXA volunteers learned to create DIY items through online workshops to promote mental wellness to our service users during COVID-19 situation. 

The Association’s Y Garden View Lounge was honoured to be invited by A.S. Watson Group and MoneyBack to participate in the “Get Rewards Around the Town” 18 District Cross-Merchant Consumer Spending Stimulation Reward Scheme, which produced a video of the restaurant to share its heartwarming story to the public during the outbreak of COVID-19. 

YWCA provides comprehensive social services, some of which are self-financed, to cater for the elderly. The epidemic has dealt a severe blow to our plans and made it difficult to raise funds this year. Therefore, we cordially ask for your support in the Care for the Elderly Charity Ticket Campaign 2020 (“the Campaign”), so as to take care of the needs of the elderly.

The Association’s Ellen Li District Elderly Community Centre cooperated with the Student Affairs Office of the Education University of Hong Kong (“EdUHK”) to implement a technology workshop for the elderly. Elders did not only learn how to use applications like Zoom, but also enjoyed some time with the youngsters. 

YWCA Jockey Club Family Wellness Centre implements “YWCA Jockey Club Joyful Transition with Families” to offer practical advices and emotional support to primary 6 students and their families. A video series and two board games have been created lately.

Things have changed over the century, but YWCA’s belief hold. We serve, speak for the needy, and stand by Hong Kong in her ups and downs.

The Association organised different activities under “Jockey Club Family Connect Project”, to promote family wellness and help families to establish positive communication.

The Association’s Women Affairs Department and Glocal Y co-organised the first “Friday Chat” online programme on 21 August, to discuss how the society stereotypes women about the role in the kitchen.
